Instructions

Clean and wash the octopus. Place the octopus in a colander and drain. Put octopus in a saucepan without water because it releases its own juices. Cook over medium heat until the octopus is tender. Strain any remaining liquid, add olive oil and sauté lightly. Add the rest of the ingredients and some of the liquid. Simmer until sauce has thickened.
